Which should receive priority in China? Environmental protection or economic growth. 1.双方陈词： 正方陈词：Good morning everyone! We are here now debating about whether environment protection or economy growth should take priority in China, we think it’s growth should be chosen. I have three reasons to prove this point.

Only in this way can we solve the environmental problems in the future reasonably.
